Best Bridge Run

Wappoo Creek Bridge

Staff Pick

The Cooper River Bridge Run is Charleston’s most famous bridge run, but we’ve decided we like another trek over water just a little bit better. OK, OK, it’s shorter — like a lot shorter — but it’s also super scenic. The Wappoo Creek Bridge connects West Ashley and James Island, with convenient sidewalks transporting you from Maybank Highway all the way to Avondale, if you so desire. Pop your ID and some cash in your pocket and you can grab a drink on one side of town before heading back to the other. This message has been approved by someone who has tried it. —Connelly Hardaway
